(Capo 3rd fret)

Am

I remember years ago

C
Someone told me I should take

G
Caution when it comes to love

F
I did

Am
And you were strong and I was not

C
My illusion, my mistake

G
I was careless, I forgot

F
I did

Dm

And now when all is done Em

There is nothing to say F

You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won

G
You can go ahead tell them

Am

Tell them all I know now C

Shout it from the roof tops

G

Write it on the sky line

F
All we had is gone now Am
Tell them I was happy C

And my heart is broken

G
All my scars are open

F
Tell them what I hoped would be

AmC
Impossible, impossible

GF
Impossible, impossibleAm
Falling out of love is hard

C
Falling for betrayal is worst

G
Broken trust and broken hearts

F
I know, I know ..Am

Thinking all you need is thereC

Building faith on love and wordsG

Empty promises will wear

F
I know, I know ..

Dm

And now when all is gone Em

There is nothing to say F
And if you’re done with embarrassing me G

On your own you can go ahead tell them

Am

Tell them all I know now C

Shout it from the roof tops

G

Write it on the sky line

F
All we had is gone now Am
Tell them I was happy C

And my heart is broken

G
All my scars are open

F
Tell them what I hoped would be

AmC
Impossible, impossible

GF
Impossible, impossible

Am
I remember years agoC

Someone told me I should takeG

Caution when it comes to loveF

I did Am
Tell them all I know now C

Shout it from the roof tops G

Write it on the sky line F

All we had is gone now Am
Tell them I was happyC

And my heart is broken G

All my scars are open F

Tell them what I hoped would beAm

Impossible, impossibleC

Impossible, impossibleG

Impossible, impossibleF

Impossible, impossible
